1.       Michael Vick plays again – It was good to see him back and I hope he uses this opportunity to become a better man, a better parent and a better football player.

2.       GI Joe Rules – Very good movie with lots of action and beautiful women.  GI Joe ranks third behind Transformers 2 and Terminator Salvation as my summer movie favorites.

3.       Fair and Square – Of course someone has already leaked out word that South African runner; Caster Semenya had triple the level of testosterone in her system. This does not mean she is man; it is just one of those oddities of nature. Her accusers now have to come to grips with the fact that they got smoked fair and square.

4.       They need Stills on that line – The Canadian Hockey team tryouts are going on and they feature a first line of Crosby – Nash and Iginla. Maybe Iginla should change his name to Stills so they can go on tour after the games?

5.       Prediction: Roddick wins the US Open – Roddick gained many new fans, me included after his showing at Wimbledon. It is also nice to have an American male back in the conversation of the world’s best tennis players.

6.       Jason Campbell shines while Cutler falters – Both QB’s faced similar situations but Campbell showed how an adult handles it versus the pouting baby actions of Jay Cutler. If karma exists Campbell will be a pro-bowl caliber QB this year while Cutler will be benched mid season and traded to Detroit for a ham sandwich. If Wayne Gretzky can be traded…anyone can be traded.

7.       Baseball is still boring – I gave baseball chance to win me over this spring-summer and it is still boring as crap. The fact that they keep outing druggie-cheaters every month did not help. Thank God football and hockey are almost back!

8.       Marshall likely to move prior to season start – Brandon Marshall appears to be forcing the Broncos hand with regard to his trade request. Marshall needs to know he is only hurting himself by being unprofessional but the Denver front office has done their part to alienate Marshall as well. Check out my blog on Marshall to see where I think he may land.

9.       RIP Senator Ted Kennedy – Say what you will about his demons or his political leanings but Senator Kennedy always looked out for the regular Joe. I served as a congressional aide a long time ago and was witness to the many things he did to help people he did not know. America lost a real hero.

10.   Jerruh Jones strikes again – Just when you thought the laughs were over Jerruh Jones builds his “look at me” stadium and did not think about how his video screen might effect the game. Given his luck the Cowboys will lose a playoff game due to that video screen….I’m just sayin.
